We were in Ocean City during Memorial Day

Duffy's is gone and has been for about a year (I think their venture in the islands still survives). We kept peeking in the windows to see if any tikis were left, or what they were "evolving" into. Those are indeed Wayne Coomb's Mai Tikis at Maui golf some of his masks and other works are there as well. (in addition, one of the surf shops; K-coast I think, has a few more Mai Tiki inside). The Old Pro miniature Golf at 26th (I think) is the one with the fiberglass tikis, it is an odd combination of tiki style and Asian-dragon motif. For the truly desperate, perhaps a peak in the lobby of the Safari Hotel, which includes some masks (mostly African) and maybe one tiki.

It is easier to find more "island oriented" bars, for which I recommend some of the Bayside places, Mackey's, mellow beach, even the vastly crowded Seacrets.

Fager's is on the bay-side, but has little to do with islands or tiki. Nevertheless, it is a personal favorite; their guarantee of “no charge for bad sunsets” is worth looking into. But I’m biased; I got engaged there. If you sneak into the fine dining area, you can get a peak at John Fager’s fine Haitian art collection, which has a distinctively island/exotic look.
